So I was listening to KPNT today while I made my bed, and they are on "shuffle" until New Year's, which is a whole other topic I should bring up somewhere else, but anyway, right after listening to "Stricken" by Disturbed (and right before STP's "Vasoline" and Crossfade's "Cold"), a song came on that I'd never heard before. It was striking from the get-go and I could tell it was definitely from the '80's, but then this female voice started singing and I was fascinated even more.
I was trying to find a phrase to memorize so I could look it up online later, but during the chorus I caught the phrase "running up that hill" and thought, "Wait, I think that's the name of a Kate Bush song." So I looked her up in my CHR/Pop chart compendium that Daniel Shywaoub mailed out 3 years ago and luckily, she'd had at least one pop hit that scraped somewhere in the Top 100 since 1991, making her an eligible entry. Sure enough, "Running Up That Hill" was listed under her name.
Aside from "Don't Give Up" (her duet with Peter Gabriel) and the video that Beavis and Butt-head panned that I had recently caught again (not that that one counts), I don't believe I'd ever heard an actual Kate Bush song otherwise. I must say I loved this.

This one's great. I heard it a few years ago on The Point and have been trying to find the MP3 of it since but no such luck... anyone have it? There was also this Kate Bush song on Starbucks's sound system during the holidays (thank God that's over), that was annoying as hell and we ran to the back room and skipped it every time it came on.

So wait, are/were you located in the St. Louis area, or what?

Oh, no... the radio station I was listening to at college was also called The Point. (WNCS, http://www.pointfm.com.) I guess it makes sense that KPNT is also called The Point.

Not a bad song. Kate Bush also had a song in the early 90s called "Rubber Band Girl", which I liked a lot.
